Tours, Field Days, Workshops, and Classes
Farm Tours
Come on out and play with the dogs and cats, pet a goat, get some cattle kisses, watch chicken antics, and talk to the turkeys! See where we process our chickens and turkeys. Observe our rotation progress throughout the year. Check out where the animals live and play during the winter. Explore our (dry) creek bed and "fairy forest" areas. And hear what projects and future plans we are working on! We may even ask for your input on our future plans, and put your ideas into motion!
​
Field Days
Field Days are wonderful opportunities for our visitors to come be a farmer for a few hours! On field days, visitors get a tour, help collect eggs, move chickens, set up paddocks, rotate goats, or other tasks depending on the season.
Lunch or dinner can be added on for an additional cost.
​
Workshops and Classes
We host hands-on workshops and classes covering a variety of subjects, from chicken processing to basic camping and/or survival skills for kids and/or adults.
We also offer badge workshops for our American Heritage Girls and Trail Life USA friends. These workshops can be tailored for all levels, and can include start-to-finish badgework activities, or more of an overall experience/feel, working on the more hands-on items, while leaving the more "academic" items for troop-, unit-, or self-study. Get in touch with us directly to arrange a tailored-for-you experience.
Prices vary depending on subject matter being taught.

FYI...
You are welcome to drive by the farm anytime and see what you can see from the road!
For obvious reasons, do not enter our pasture without our permission, and without being escorted. We have livestock guardian dogs who are very sweet with people, when they know it's ok for people to be there (such as after we've introduced them). These same livestock guardians are capable of tossing coyotes around like a plastic sack. There are times that our goats get out of their electric fencing, or we turn the cattle loose on pasture during stormy weather (their favorite stormy weather spot is on our "back 4"). While they are generally sweet animals, they are animals, and can be unpredictable. We have electric fencing along the perimeter that is strong enough to stop a bear. Not that we have bears. But I'm sure you get the point--the fences are hot enough to keep the animals in (mostly, because....goats.....), and the predators out.
​
We have 1 rule on the farm:
Don't paint the turtle.
​
Sounds silly, right?
​
But painting a turtle is nonsensical, at least, and deadly, at most.
​
It doesn't make sense to paint a turtle.
​
If you do paint a turtle, it will die.
​
So, make good choices. Be a good human. And don't paint the turtle.
